Chapter 96B

Amney had been given a chance to monitor the battle and watch for any warning that may be sent. She had seen the two ships explode but like most Tandra, she ignored the incident other than subtract the number of viable fighters her side had. She may have been one of those now fighting or possibly killed but she knew now that she had never put the amount of effort in to gaining those positions. The competition for those positions was so strong that deaths had occurred in just the choosing.

When her watch was over she surrendered her position to another eager Tandra wanting a closer view of what was happening. She quickly ran to the matter transmitter and then to her small room. At first she sat then the events of the last few hours overcame her and she began to cry. Everybody knew the list of those killed in the ships and in the combat with the Samutz. Some she knew very well and ones she had known from her youth on Tandra.

With a great deal of effort she pulled herself together. Others needed her now. She stripped and cleaned herself before donning a new uniform. She then used a special machine made on Earth that dispensed some very dark liquid. She added just the right amount of sugar then put them in a container that would ensure that they stayed warm and upright.

She walked the few metres to the hatch and waited. A light changed colour and she entered the large bridge. She looked at the Captain's chair and found it empty. She quickly looked around till she saw the Captain looking at a small display. To his side his exec watched the same screen but also checked other screens to ensure that nothing was missed.

Amney looked to see that she would not interfere with anybody purposely moving about the deck then quickly walked to her males. She stood out of the way and just waited till they noticed her. She peeked into their minds and saw how fast they were currently thinking. They were very worried about those in danger and about completing their assigned tasks.

She knew that her race could think as fast and purposely but those she knew were in the minority. The ones she met as bodyguards or as visiting soldiers were usually this type but the rest of the population were not nearly as good. She knew that these people in front of her were hampered by their conscience, knowing that they had sent individuals to their death. Five days ago when they had acted as supporting forces a similar situation had happened but the losses were a lot less.

The Captain hastily looked up for the source of the kind thoughts about him and found Amney standing at attention ready to present him with something.

"Yes, Amney?" He said in a kind voice.

"I brought some of the coffee you like." When she got a kind smile she hastily opened the container and gave her captain the small cup. When the exec looked, he too was given a similar cup.

Paul Santo said, "Hmmm this is good. Thank you Amney. You are always thinking of us. I don't know what we would do without you now."

The Captain said, "I concur. You are a real asset to us."

Amney felt very good now and waited till they finished their beverage and gave the cups back. These cups had to be saved because the Captain's mother had given them as a set with other handmade articles from their planet.

She left the busy bridge soon after and carefully cleaned the cups and even the container they were transported in. The fact that this was a task given to a menial didn't bother her at all now. She was doing this to please her males and that was enough for her at the moment.

The battle lasted three days. Much information had been learned in the taking of Masis and one was the use of small probes that flooded the planet and kept an eye on every possible Samutz. When the battle finally started the body count could be tallied against what the probes first detected.

Many probes followed their targets and allowed the fighters to destroy the Samutz even if they were metres deep in a swamp or in an ocean.

When the battle was over and the cleanup finished both Charlie and Paul were exhausted. Amney made them a light meal which they hurriedly ate then they crawled into bed. The made quick passionate love then simply collapsed.

Amney went into the room to clean up. The dishes were cleaned because of their origin and then Amney started picking up clothing. The scent in the room made her exceedingly horny and she hurried with this task. When she got to the bed though she found her hand rubbing her clits. She just had to remove her clothing to do this better.

Some lubricant was near the bed and she used a bit on her fingers to give her more pleasure. The two lovers on the bed had not used any and satisfied each other with their lips and hands before sleeping.

When the feelings came Amney was able to hold off a bit and got very close to her Captain's waist. She put her face close to the flaccid member and manipulated her clits to a wonderful orgasm.

More though was needed and she got close enough to suck the small member into her mouth. The taste was much stronger than what had been on her fingers before and savoured the taste as the best she had ever tasted. Another orgasm overcame her but she continued to gently suck for more of the taste she now craved.

Just before her next orgasm she noticed that the small flaccid phallus was now growing in her mouth. She stopped immediately but did not move away. The phallus though continued to grow and Amney stayed perfectly still in case the owner awoke. Her mind now questing very carefully to see if she had been discovered. In an unguarded moment she found that her Captain was thinking of his lover and even pulled Paul closer to him.

Amney felt she was pushing her luck too much and kept her mouth stationary but not her busy fingers. Three more orgasms came to her as her mind clouded with lust and something else. Though she could tell her thinking ability was deteriorating she fought to stay with her males even though a small rational part told her to leave right away.

An odd feeling grew within her. She had enjoyed sex with her own race but now she thought she could do something with the strange Humans. These ones her were the ones she always wanted. One was good one way while the other was good the other way and she could not really choose even without her clouded mind.

Before she could make a rational decision her mouth started to work on the rigid phallus in her mouth once again. When she heard the Captain groan she continued what she was doing and he moved a bit to lay flatter on his back. In seconds she climbed on the pallet and slowly sank onto the very large phallus.

This time she had to go very slow or risk some pain. Never before had anything this large been inside her. The thoughts of her gaining a half-breed child were almost too much for her. She had seen the children and adults that had recently come back from their trip across the galaxy and could instinctively see that they would lead much better than a Tandra or even a Human. The possibilities of having such a child were almost too much to take.

Amney finally was able to get all of the penis into her but dare not sit on her Captain for fear of waking him. In only a few strokes she had to reach out with her hands and hold his chest to keep from falling as a powerful orgasm passed through her body. Her subconscious worked very hard to push out a ripe egg even though her body would not normally be ready to do this for years.

Amney stopped in shock at touching the Captain but continued to move slowly. His hands came up and closed on her wrists. Amney was ready to take any discipline for a chance like this but was very happy when the images in her Captain's mind showed his lover in a similar position.

She concentrated on her body and continued to work up and down very slowly. The Captain was very tired and groaned his pleasure in his sleep. Amney now worked to drop an egg that her subconscious had been trying to do for the last few moments. A strange feeling went through her and she orgasmed one more time.

In the next half hour she had literally dozens more orgasms including that special feeling that she could only attribute to growing up a bit more. Soon Charles Shingle moved his hands to Amney's hips and thrust upward vigorously while thinking of his lover. This time though the lover was younger as they way they used to be years ago.

Amney collapsed on his chest and basically just passed out from all the effort she had expended. Charlie just held the child to him and for some reason dreamed of a small child of his own even if that were never really possible.

An hour later Charlie turned on his side and the sleeping child was now nestled between him and Paul.

Their usual wake up time passed because of their need for sleep. Charlie had an erection and felt the moist feeling around it. His mind still pictured a young Paul in his arms and he moved back and forth into the opening. He heard the groaning of somebody he loved and held tight before thrusting a bit more and finally released his seed into the waiting orifice.

An hour later Paul reached out and held the body close to him and only had the feeling of love. He turned on his side and pulled closer. He felt complete now and just went back to sleep thinking of his children that could never really exist but were always dreamed about with a deep longing.

A bit later Charlie awoke slowly to find his cock being slowly manipulated the way Paul did with his mouth. He thought of the most important person in his life and held tight to the body next to him. Something though was wrong and as he slowly awoke he saw the face of the beautiful Tandra girl in the bed next to him. She was the only child they would have and that would not be for long. She would grow up and leave in a few years.

He came awake more quickly now. Why was this girl he loved so much in his bed? What was Paul doing to him now? It felt great but not what he usually felt. He felt Amney move her body more and the feeling in his cock happened at the same time. He now woke up much more and searched the mind of the girl he was holding so tightly to him. She was still asleep and making the movements while in a dream.

His mind now searched the girl's mind much more thoroughly and gasped at what he had done. It was almost as if gigantic bands linked him to Paul and now bands of equal thickness led to the Tandra girl from both men.

He had seen these bands before but they had only been between him and Paul. The thickness now was much more substantial with the girl in the grouping. She added strength to the old bond as well as the one to and from herself.

Charlie's cock deflated even with the increased movements of Amney to keep him erect and inside her. When he slipped out of her she started to awake herself. Her mind now was clearer than it had been in a long time. She felt a new place for herself and in a way felt very fulfilled. She saw the male in front of her. He was holding her to him. She felt his love and just pulled him close and licked his face.

When that was done she just turned her head and sniffed his chest. She detected the scent of sweat coming from where the two bodies had been so close together. After one more draught she knew that this was the scent she wanted to smell for the rest of her life.

"Amney, What are you doing here?"

Amney thought of the question but her mind was still a bit foggy in this respect. In a way it was like being very awake but still asleep in other areas. "I came to clean up after my males and then got very excited by the smell in the room." She snuggled a bit closer trying to encourage the penis under her bum to grow and enter her. "When I started to tingle I had to relieve the tension," she admitted but was somehow not embarrassed saying this to her Captain. "I ended up so excited that I had to sit on you then I guess I fell asleep."

Charlie saw that Paul had not moved and searched. His lover was still asleep and dreaming of a conventional family and children. The mother was close by but not seen. A bit of digging by Charlie showed that Paul did not know the identity of the mother. Amney was the first possibility if one was ever chosen though. He loved the girl as a sort of daughter and a bit of something else that neither of the men were sure of.

Charlie kept Amney in one arm and reached over her with the other to shake Paul. Many ideas were filtering through his mind in only a second. Having his brain improved let him consider this like any other problem facing the ship.

Charlie loved Paul and the feeling was returned. They had considered having a family at some time but wanted to adopt some of the millions of Tandra children brought back by the Emperor. This would only happen when their military duties had been completed and a family safely raised without the possibility of an attack.

Amney was the Emperor's daughter even if the child still did not fully accept this. The old Empress would certainly have something to say about a simple ship's captain having an affaire with her youngest daughter.

The Emperor himself would be very perturbed at him if the girl were hurt. What form this anger would take would not be known but a report had to be sent in. This activity was very much against his sense of duty. He was intrusted with the child's welfare and here he was with his cock wet from being immersed in her. She was to be taught to respect the new Empire and to contribute to its growth.

He thought of the girl more himself and he knew that he loved her for herself but not the way he loved Paul. If he were not cashiered from the military he was sure to loose Paul and even Hans. Paul was innocent of any wrong doing but this affair might have severe repercussion on his future advancement. The fact that they would now be separated had more than an even chance in happening. Their goal of living on a far planet with an adopted family around them seemed very dim.

Amney was still young and the images of children in her mind were probably just the wishful thinking of a young girl. Perhaps in another fifteen years she would start to have her own children as other Tandra women did. The girl still needed to be protected. Since my career is probably over, I can take the blame and perhaps Amney will be given another chance along with Paul.

Paul turned over with a bit of difficulty and surprisingly found Amney in his bed and in fact between him and Charlie. Why the girl was in the bed in the first place was unknown. She may have needed to be comforted somehow and Charlie had held her till she fell asleep. It was kind of nice having a child in the bed even if she was only two thirds of their age.

He held the child to him and thought more on the subject. He casually looked into Amney's mind and saw that she was now happier that he had ever known her to be before. Digging a little deeper he found that Amney felt she had grown more mentally when she thought she was now able to drop an egg. She even thought that she was pregnant.

This made Paul angry for a moment. The child had to learn a great deal yet and even have time to be a child. Who would have done this to her?

With a bit more digging he came very awake and searched through both Charlie's mind and Amney's. He pulled out abruptly and ran all the reverberations of this through his mind. In as much time as Charlie had used, Paul had come to the same conclusions. There was no way that he was going to be separated from Charlie though and perhaps the Emperor would accept both their resignations and allow them to lead the lives they once had on Earth. The Emperor would not take their lives but would remove all of what the Tandra science had bestowed on them.

Amney though was still young and needed all the protection she could get. Perhaps a safe haven on Luna where her mother and the Emperor's other wives would be able to look out for her and the child that Amney thought she now had.

If Amney was mistaken then the girl would be then further along in developing and could start her own family sooner and thus gain happiness. The other side of the coin was that there might be a child of Charlie's either being removed in a few hours or grow to never see his or her father. This last scenario seemed to be the most cruel.

Amney did not understand why the males locked her out of their minds but could see and feel the aftereffects. They grew rigid and she could understand that a lot of thinking was going on. The link to the two males was still open and would always be till death took it away. This told her that both men loved her and wanted the best for her but they thought that their own lives in a major way was over.

"What do you mean, you have to leave me? I found my place and I plan on keeping it unless you force me to leave." This brought on a large load of worry. There was a lot of love she knew and somehow they wanted to protect her by leaving. How could this be? If a women needed protection then they had to stay together. The child, she hoped that was attacking itself within her womb, would need a family to protect her or possibly him.
